The Crookston City Council held a brief meeting Monday evening. Here are some highlights:

1 Paul Biermaier from the Crookston Police Department reported that new officer David Grabowski will start on Feb. 19. He earned his criminal justice degree at the University of Minnesota, Crookston.

2 Parks & Recreation Director Scott Riopelle, in response to continued concerns about the systems that run Crookston Sports Center, said that engineers, architects and control people converged on the CSC last Friday. They reset the system and made some minor changes. Now he’s waiting for the commissioning agent to come and test the systems. “Hopefully we’ll be running cool and smooth from here on in,” Riopelle said.
